Ray, Your garden sounds lovely! I didn't catch where you are exactly,
Texas? I use those food service buckets too, out of necessity. I try
to snazz em up by painting them with acrylics and oil pastels. I do
the ole faux marble by sponge dabbling and then runnning a feather
thru it but then I apply Mardi Gras metallic face powders in silver
and gold to get a burnished antique look or paint them to look like
leopard spots or something whimsical, LOL (lots of laughs)
But this ain't no arts n crafts list so let me ask you a pepper
question. It seems we use  alot of the same methods. I've been growin
poblanos and cayennes & I have just started  red habs and thai dragons
for the first time (in containers )
any special tips on these? 
Also, I'm trying to unite and encourage container pepper gardeners,
can I quote your letter on my webpage?
